Homeowners looking for an affordable home upgrade should consider interior painting. A fresh coat of paint can completely change the look of an interior space. It also covers dents, blemishes and stains while adding a protective moisture barrier to the walls. With advice from a reputable and experienced interior painter, Calgary homeowners can avoid these 5 mistakes people make when choosing paint colours: 

1.    Choosing colours that are too bright and saturated.

Consider that a favourite colour will look different when it’s covering the entire wall. Bright, saturated colours can be too strong for a wall colour. If you’re planning on selling the house in the future, this type of wall colour can deter buyers.

2.    Not considering colour flow from one room to the next.

Choosing colours from the same colour palette family is important, especially in an open concept homes where one room is visible from the next. You don’t have to have the same colour in every room, but without good colour flow, your home will feel choppy.

3.    Choosing the paint colour first when doing a big renovation.

If you are doing a major home renovation, do not choose the paint colour first. It is difficult and time-consuming to choose other finishings to match a wall colour. Instead, choose what you want for flooring, tile, cabinets and even furniture and textiles first. Then find inspiration from your choices for a complimentary wall colour.

4.    Not considering home design trends.

You don’t want to paint your entire home a colour that has already gone out of style. Do some research online and find what is trending this year for wall colour. Choose something you like but be cautious not to choose a hot trend that will soon go out of fashion. This is a tricky balance but can be done with the help of a professional interior painter in Calgary.

5.    Forgetting that colour will affect the way you feel.

Colours have an impact on our mood. Red is stimulating, so should not be in rooms that you want to relax in. Blue is calming and yellow makes us feel cheerful. Make sure you choose colours that match the way you want to feel when you’re using that room.
